Concert “In Čiurlionis’ World” – a journey into the artist’s soul with pianist Rokas Zubovas

As part of the 13th International M. K. Čiurlionis Music Festival, this special concert invites listeners to immerse themselves in the music of Lithuania’s legendary composer M. K. Čiurlionis. Renowned pianist Rokas Zubovas, who is also Čiurlionis’ great-grandson, presents a deeply emotional and poetic piano recital interwoven with literary elements. The program evokes Čiurlionis’ time in Palanga – his romance with Sofija and contemplative walks by the sea.

Zubovas will perform a full program of Čiurlionis’ piano works, revealing their emotional depth, rich color palette, and mystical symbolism – hallmarks of the composer’s unique creative voice. In addition to the music, the audience will hear personal reflections from Zubovas about Čiurlionis’ life, worldview, and artistic path, offering rare and intimate insight into the mind of the composer.

The pianist’s stories about his great-grandfather open new perspectives on Čiurlionis’ legacy, uncovering lesser-known aspects of his music and personality. During the event, Zubovas will also present his newly released vinyl record featuring recordings of Čiurlionis’ piano works.

“In Čiurlionis’ World” is more than a concert.

It is a heartfelt journey through music, memory, and heritage – into the inner world of M. K. Čiurlionis.
